Livestock mucosal competitive exclusion culture to reduce enteropathogenic bacteria

摘要

In the present invention, there is disclosed a composition that is cultured from the scrapings of the intestinal tract of pathogen-free animals and administered to animals. This composition confers a strong measure of protection against the subsequent colonization by enteropathogenic bacteria, including Salmonella species, Campylobacter species and Escherichia coli 0157:H7, which currently cause an unacceptably high incidence of morbidity and mortality in humans and reduce productivity in livestock populations.
